From the Lauronsville Herald, 10th inst.
Gen. Bonham's Speech.
On last Monday, according to previous ap
pointinent, Gen. Bunham addressed a very
respeetable number of his constituents of
this District, met together to hear him in
Garlington's H1all. Tke General made an
able Und impressive speech of about an hours'
length, and all his views being concurrent
with the general sentiments of our citizens,
his remark.; were well received.
We will not attempt a report of the speech,
although it would have pleased us to have
been able to lay the whole of the well-timed
remarks of our Representative before our
readers, but will only mention some of the
heads upon which he touched.
He said that the South was in great dan
ger, greater perhaps than ever before, that
he was not foreboding breakers ahead with
out reason, and showed upon what he based
his opinion. The passage of the Agricultural
College Bill was as great a swindle as was
ever attempted upon the South, and we were'
otily saved from Its direful effects by the veto
of tWe President. This bill was pas-ed, too,
by a Democratic Congress I so we had little
to hope from that party.
The vote upon the Homestead Bill, which
was only lost in the Senate by the deciding
vote of Vice President Breckenrid-ge, and
which was a measure of the same stamp,
inimical and hostile to the rights of the
South, had a portentous meaning, which in
no wise could we interpert favorably to our
selves.
The agitation of the Pacific Railroad Bill,
which was but another measure to defraud
us by squandering the public montey, and
thus open the way for a higher tariff, the
greater portion of' which will fall upon us,
indicates that we have little to hope, upon
sue:i a measure as this, of the unshaken union
of' a national democratic party, standing on
the Constitution as its platform. With Dou
glass and his squatter sovereignty doctrines
which are so nrjus't to the interests of the
South, we should have nothing to do. We
should support no man with Douglas princi
ple', that would exchilde Southern citizens
and their property from tho territories.
As to our hope in the next Presidential
election, he had none. We will have neither
Douglas or Seward, or any of their stamp,
so we may expect that the Democrats at the
Nqrth will break off from us. Let them go.
*1Ve feel able to protect ourselves, and will
sacrifice them for our interests and honor.
There is a calm before a storm, but the low,
muttering thunders can now occasionally be
heard by a close observer. And when the
worst comies, shall South Carolina be overrun,
and trodden down in the struggle ? If she
prove recreant to her high trust-to the sa
cred privileges which have been handed down
to her-If she fail to preserve her honor and
hcr righats, tie boary heads of our indignant
forefathers will rise from their feverish graves
to reproach her degenerate sons.
Should the next Presidential election leave
us only the choice of the two, our hope lies
in a Southern Confederacy ; for the South,
South Carolina will not allow herself to be
insulted, her interests sacrified, her rights
disregarded, nor her honor stained, in a na
tional unmon. He fras proud to say he could
speak for the chivalric " Old-Ninety-Six Dis
trict," the deeds of whose great sons have a
place on every page of our history, that she,
for one, would not.
The hearty cheers whichgreeted the speak
er at the close and several stages of his re
marks, gave note of their being appreciated,
and of ther coincidence with the feelings of
thone whom he was addressing.
The Suspension ofJohn Fraser & Co.
The financial editor of the New York
Jounal of C'onunemc says, in reference to the
recent suspension: We regret to learn that
the large and very respectable house of John
Fraser & Co.. of Charleston known here as
Tirenhoh~a, Bros., & Co., ad in Live roo as
} raser, Trenuholm & Co., has been oblge to
?uspend payment. This announcement took
iaost of our merchants and bankers here by
.surpise, anid indeed, was unexpected, as we
M-trn, by the partners resident in this city.
Trho house was reported to possess a capital
of two or three millions, and it may be that
their presenat embarrassment wilIbe only tem
porary. The business was chiefly the grantinig
of advances on southern purchases and ship.
toents of' cotton, the money there being raised
by sixty day drafts on the firm here, and thes.e
again covered bydrafts on Liverpool, for the
paym~ent of which the cotton sent forward
oudamply suffice. As long as there was
no difficulty in negotiating. bills this arran e
meswas a good one, andthbuieset
mate. 'ecnytedifficult in teway c
negotiating commerucial bill of Exchange,
has checked the cash resources of the house.
The cotton on which their own advances
had been made, was mostly afloat on its way
to Liverpool, and the hills of ladin beyond
recall, so that it was difficult to plege any
thing for assistance except the credit of the
firm. The inmmediate protests will be, as we
suippose, chiefly in bills negotiated at the
&mth on the New York firm, and some time
tnust elapse before there can be aniy return of
ladls from the other side, even if the diffienly
abould finally extend so far in that direction.
T[he foreign bills are chiefly in the hands of
the strongest bankers h~ere and ini Boston, and
tha domestic bills are mostly held by soothern
banks.
dinee writing the above we learn that a dis
pasch has been received froin Charleston
stating that the banks there had areed to
protect seventy thousand dollars of th accep
tances of the firm until November, and we
have no doubt that the purchasers of the
sterling bills will also grant a like extension
If it is needd,so that the business of the honse
will prbably be resumed again ; we can hard
ly thunk that any lces can occur to any of the
creditors.
The following, which we copy from the
Charleston Eveinmg News of the 9th, will be
r-d with satisfaction :

Williammton Springs.
Please refer to the advertisements of the Wil
llamston Hotels. This watering place will present
this season many attractions; anl-as a goodly
number of our readers will probably he there at
some tipte during the snmmer, they would do well
to see what the landlords say for themselves.
The " Wt;l;.vx1on Vpr;8ng Hutrl" is one of the
I largest and best in our State out of Charleston,
and there is every reason to think that it will be
kept this season in a style even superior to its con.
duct in 1858.
The " 'entrl a?.usc is also a gtest favorite with

We iremd the liaece, that it may be the more ea..ily
real :
" The national dolt. of Eng;aaul began with the
relinquishment of the ,ia lcustems or extorting trotn
the people and substituting borrowing therefur, to
moeet putoic ax-gncies. Charles 1. borrowed lurke
ly fromi his piartisanaa; but all his debts were ex.
tiuguished bay the Revolution. It was under his
suns, Charles II. and James I[. that the founda
tious of a leruaqent dobt were laid in England.
Oi the accession of William IL the debt was
6604,263. During his reign, however, the system
of credit was expanded throughout Europe. A
large part of the annual expenditure of the gov.
ernment was delrayed by borrowing money and
pledging the State to pay annual interest upon it.
At Wallinm's death, the debt wias ?15,730,439.
Froma his the to the present, the process of bur.
rowing has been continued in all exigencies, such
as war, the large payment on account of Negro
Emanoipation, &c. In period. of peace, and
when the rate of interest has been low, the Our.
ernment ha redeemed small portions of the debt,
or It has lowered the annual *harge by reducing,
with the consent of the holders, the rate of in.
terest.
"The debt, then, consists of several species of
loans or funds, with different denominations, which
have been, in process of time, variously mixed
and mingled, iuch as Consuls, i. a., several differ.

3c debt contInued to haerease, until, at the aeoss.
sion of George I. in 1714, It was A54,145,363.
Some two tillion was paid ulI during this reign,
but during that of his successour it was greatly in
ereased, so tist, in 1763, it had reached the sum
of 1138.8G5,430, During the peace from 1775 ten
millions were paid, but at the conclusion of the
American Revolution it was :,249,$51,628. In
the peace which ensued from 1784 to 1793, ten and
a half millions were paid. Then came the great
moral end political revolution of Europe, in the
course of which, England aided with despotism.
She fomented quarrels, caused coalition after coa
lition to be formed, spent money freely to uphold
every absolutist, subsidised every despot and was
the persistent enemy of the people. During this
insane career she contracted an increase of debt
exceeding Ja.J,,Andr&u nillina, terling, so that, at
the close of the war and when the English and
Irish Exchequers were cunsollilated, the total
fundedl and unfuaded debt, in 1817, was ?840,
850,491 and the annual charge upon It was ?32,
015.941.
1 From that time to 1854 there was a continual
reduction of debt. On the 1st of April, 1854, if
was $768,664,249. But then catne tihe Crimean
war, and afterw.%rds the war in India. Imntedi
ately following these, came the necenity for in
creased expenses In placing the navy and army in
preparation for a general European war. The
Crimean and Indian wars have Inereased the deli

The Hygeis Hotel, at this delightful place df
resort, is by common consent one of the Anest
hotels in the country. From its location, it is
enabled to surpass most other hotels in all that
long list of delicious* odibbis alone to be found
upon the sea-coast. It hap also the advantage of
the products of the Chesapeake, and of the gime
still t) ie had in abundance from parts of the
once-elebrated Enstern Shore. But over and
above all this, It is kept by as generous and hospi
table a proprietor as ever preidled over an
establishtnitnt of the kind. We know wihat we
say froms the lt'4 source, when we declare that
Mr. Jushi'tt S.An -is one of those princes of hostt
under whose surveillance ito guest can be other
wise than contented and happy.
We earnestly retotunnend this delightful hathing
resort to such of our citizens *a seek true comfori
and enjoyment, berides healthful and invigorating
influences of long-tried virtue. The season at the
Hyyrin openfs about now, and will continue il
full blast for nearly three mouths. The cost tc
get there by railway is scarcely more than fifce,
dollara, and when you get there, you are in one o:
the most enjoyable spots in America. Who wil
join a party for the "old Dominion ?" Wh<
wihes to spend a month of genuine salt-air salu.
brity and sea-shuro luxury ? Who would extend
their acquaintance with the people of the Union
the best of whom annually gather at the "Old
Point ?" Let them do as we sincerely advise
them to do,-go to the Hyyeint, and be rescuecitated
into newness of physical life.
See below what the Richmond Enquirer says o:
this celebrated resort:
The Hygeia Hotel at Old Point will open oi
the reception of visitors on. the 10th of June
There is probably no seabathing resort in the
Union presenting so many advantages as Old
Point. It is situated near the mouth of Chese
peake Bay, with the most perfect- facilities o:
transit by steamer to Baltimore, Norfolk or this
city. In point of seacoast scenery, it enjoys every
advantage that the visitor can desire; while aso
healthful retreat it is surpassed by no similar plact
of resort anywhere.
Its prominent position secures to it the ful
benefit of the invigorating sea.broese, which the
visitor can enjoy seated in any of the 'spaioui
rooms of the Hygela. As to the accommodations
we oan say, from experienee, that the visitor wil
not fail to be pleased so long as the Rygla con
tinues in charge tif its present generous and hos.
pitable proprietor, Joseph Segar, Esq.
Wine and Wine Tasting.
There is perhaps no single commodity in whiel
Americans are so commonly and so hugely deluded
as In the article of wine. This truth is becoming
apparent from the researcher of chemical me
which have recently been called into active exer
cise by reason of the excessive adulteration o
liquors. Of Port, Sherry and Madeira, it may bi
said that the great bulk sold In this country, and
that too by the most respectable and extensivi
houses, is simply not isine in aly sense. It is I
mixture of rider, cockroaches, doctored whiskey
with sometimes a contribution of brandy or othe
diluted alcobolie stimulants. So (as a conse
quence) in wine-tasting, are our best and moi
cultivated bibbers often u-regiously wide of thq

See what Preuidlent Nutt, of New York, says o1
this subject, and let,us forerer hereafter hold on
peace in this matter of wine-tasting:
The last cask of wine I purchased, and whiel
was tested by somo of the best judges in the coun
try, was pronounced to be good seine. I after
wards dlis'ctvered that it was made in the loft of
decaler, andi did not contain a drop of the fruit e
the vine, but was adae from doctored whisky
and admitted afterwards to be so by the maker.
An individual asseured me that while acting a
an a,.sistant in this wine brewinzw-eatabltishmed
. i..4.d-.A......syownU-a hundred dollats mard
in a single cask of this fabrication.
The late Do Witt Clinton was a vecry moderat
drinker, bit had the reputation of being a ver;
nice taster i the Inst dinnet party I gave -witl
wine, I offered my gttests a liquor called wine
drawn from the cask above mentioned. Mi
Clint'on was seated next tto me; he was muel
taken with this wine, andi after tantting all th
varieties, stid to mie. " If you continue to drini
wine, let ame advise you to drink this kind (ptoin
ting to the b~ottle containing the fabritcated article ;
you will find it less injumritmus than old and higi
priced." The late Chancelior Jones, who was als
considered an excellent judge of wine, was a
takon with the samc liquor, that he requested mn
to order a pipe of~ it for hitu, which I diti.
Let no tune rest satisfied that he is drinking
pure article. either tof wine. h,er, or urdleut spiriti
until he has called in the cheuhist to decide th
question.

To the Voters ofEdgetleld District. u
I take this opportunity of withdrawing my name
from the list of Candidates for the Office of CLERK
of Edgefield District.
Some of my good friends advise me that I must
choose one of two alternatives: That I must either
canvass the District, or withdraw my name.
The claims of my family and the interests of my
business, on which I alone rely for their support,
eompell me. to choose the latter and withdraw. t
And in doing so, I return my most cordial thanks 0
to the kind friends who have honored me with t
their confidence and support. t
And I can truly say that I have never regarded
any man as my enemy because he did not support
me in my election. I therefore retire from the
field with the beat and kindest feelings to all.

Tribute of Respect.
At a recent communication of Harmony Lodge, c
No. 67, A. F. M. the following Preamble and V
Resolutions were adopted.
Again has unpitying death, with Its remorseless
scythe, entered our sanctuary and claimed for its 1
victim the head of our Lodge, taking from our
midst a good man and a true Mason, upon whose
%row age had not yet stamped his furrowed seal.
Could the hand of brotherly regard and friendship
have resened him from the unrelenting tyrant, *
'GEORGE C. CUNNINGHAM would not now be '
absent from his place In the East. Upright in
.his deportment, and devoted to his masonic duties,
he set a bright example while living for us to fJ
low. Now the angel of death, by the Inscrutable 4
dispensation of Almighty God has taken him to i
the Grand Lodge on high. Paticut and resigned, f
runder a consciousness of his approaching end, C
rwhile he was cheered and sustained to the last C
moment by the promiises of Him that died for all,
he bore with manly fortitude the pangs of disso-.
lation.
1st fleenired, That as' a moan and a mason' our
departed brother CUNNINGHAM held a high i
tplace In our affections as well as in our Lodge,
b Ieing at the time of his death our Worshipful
Master.
2nad Resired, That as this is the first time our
~Lodge has been called on to mourn the death of
their first offier, that a blank leaf be left by the
Secretary in his book of records, vhereupon the a
name of GEORGE .C. CUNNINGHAM shall be lI
inscribed, with the date of his death and his off- r
ial relation to the Lodge; that the members
ear the usual badge of mourning, and the jewels
draped in the sae badge for three months.
.3rdI Rejoiced That the heartfelt sympathies or
(Ithe members the L..A.- L..-4ndered to the
bereaved widow and the relations of our deceased
brother.(
4rk Reanired, That a copy of these Resolutions
be furnisheil to thu widow, and that they be pub-t
liehed in the Edgefield Advertiser, and enteredi
on the minutes of the Lodge.

ESTATE OF JOSEPH lloyN.--The appraise
ient of the estate of the late Joseph Bond
mounted to over nine hundred thousand dol
trs. Land and negroes valued by appraisers
uder oath, are usually placed at the lowest
iarket rates-we mtay, therefore, regard the
state as being worth one million of dollars.
~he plantations in Dougherty county were
alued attwenty-five dollars per acre-all
ther plantations at twenty dollars per acre.
)ut of five hundred and thirty negroes, three
undred and sixty-four were on plantations in
bis county. Not one of the negroes belong
eg to the estate were sick at the time of the

The Southern Field and Fireside,
A Weekly Literary Wad AguiOuItural Pser,
PURLIsEU IN AUGUsTA, GOBJA. -
I N quarto form of eight pages, folio side-ach
issue to contain forty columns of matter. It Is
published on good paper, and, in mecbanicaOl'xe
eution, ie in the best style of the typographical
art. In utility, it is all that the best agricultural
science and practical knowledge of the.South can
turnish. A weekly visitor to the homes of Southern
planters and farmers, it will be more useful and
acceptable to them than any monthly journal of
equal merit.
In mental attractions, it is all that a spirit of
enterprise on my part, and a laudable emulation
uu the part of others, can evoke from Southern
intellect and cultivation.
The Agricultural Editor is Dr. DAmrz. Lun, the
distinguished l'rofesuor of Agriculture in the Uni
rersity of Gieorgla-edlitor for many years past of
the Southern Cultivator, and a leading contrbutor
to many Northern agricultural journals of the
highest reputation.
The Literary Editor is Mr. W. WV. -MArx, of
this city, an accomplished writer, of fine taste and
scholarly attainments, who, having retired from
the active duties of the -legal profession, spent
many years in Europe, and was for several years
the Paris Correspondent of the National Intell
gencer, and Southern Literary Messenger.
The Horticultural Editor is Mr. Wi. N. Wueva,
a skillfat and expriened cultivator of fruits,
tlowers, and vegtblsawriter of repute in these
departments, a~ author of- that pepular-werk,
"Gardening for the South."
Tean Sou'rmzn F1rw Aa Franse combines
the useflul and the agreeable. It furnishes the
Southern farmer Information useful in every field
he cultivates,. and the Southern family choice lit.
erature, the offspring of Southern intellect, worthy
o.f welcome at every fireside. It Is, in all respects,
a first class paper-an a scale of expenditure
more liberal than has yet been attempted in the
.iouth, and designed to rival in its merits the mast
di.tingidshed of the North.
Tauxau-Cash in advance, $200 a year.
Bills current in the State from which they a
,ent, received at par.
Postmasters are allowed fifteen per cent. on the
.amount of subscriptions obtained by them.
On all subscriptions exceeding twenty, lent from
fne sotlice, twenty-five per cent. is allowed.
Contributions solicited from the pens of South
ern writers.
A special appeal is made to the ladies of the
South for their patronage and good wishes.
This paper is entirely silent plitics.
